I had no idea they were that expensive until I looked into it when I bought a house. Decided that's a lot of driveways I'd have to plow to make that $$ back.

BTW, when it's more than 4", we get plowed at $30/pop.
How many times do we need to be plowed a year? 5? Maybe 10 times? Wanna save $$? Hire someone to do it. Not having to get up early and do it yourself is awesomesauce. --kC |

KC only asks kids to come do his driveway so that he can then proceed to yell at them to get out of his yard.

I just found last years Ariens 250cc/24" for a great deal on CL. Unfortunately, can't get a hold of the guy.

Uh huh. No way I'd be rolling out of bed at 3:30 to plow driveways then go to work and school. There was one time in the 5 years I've worked at my current job where they actually told people to stay home. Too bad I had already made it to the damn office because I had class and the university never cancels.

You're a wise man. I'm selling my plow truck right now for the exact line of reasoning.

Know how to turn a dishwasher into a snow blower?
Give her a shovel. (Yes, that is all I have to contribute to this thread.) |

Looks cool, and is also one of the most worthless ideas ever... Tracks work great if you are driving on snow. Kind of the point of a snowblower is that it shouldn't be driving on snow, if it is, something is wrong! Get a little ice under a layer of snow and those tracks are absolutely worthless. Their advantage is for things like gravel driveways where you want to leave a little layer of snow, and ice isn't as much of an issue. Knobby tires + chains is what you want. Much higher PSI on the ground, and can bite into ice to keep it moving. Last edited by rkramer; 11-01-2011 at 09:18 AM. |

tracks just make them even larger and clunkier.. I'd rather have my deluxe 28 where I can unlock the axle and pivot easily.

How's the axle unlock work? On our MTD its done with a lynch pin and thats not exactly convenient. I ended up leaving it in the "locked" position all the time and just skidding the tires to turn them. |

there is a handbrake type lever on the handle that can disengage the axle.. takes a little wiggling of the snowthrower to get the axle locked again. |

I might have to go buy a snowblower today.
We are in a new house with a long driveway that is a corner lot. With a new baby to come in two weeks. Yeah I might not have the time to be out there with shovel this winter. I think the real reason is that I just like gas powered tools! I've got a 10% off coupon at Lowes that HD will accept too so I'll look there after trolling Craigslist. |
